I received my journal seven hours ago (at 2:03 am) and I am reading it now, so I click through on the item asking whether I read it or not - and I cannot respond because the linked poll is already over! Come on guys - get it together.

Maybe I don't understand how it works? None of the poll posting is a link or clickable (clicking on the vote buttons do nothing, and there is no link to some other location where I can vote). At the bottom of the poll it says: "Last vote: Apr 30, 2017 8:02:10 AM" (which for me was 2 hours ago).

Ok - I spent more than 10 seconds this time. Browser doesn't matter (tried more than one) - but if I hover over the vote buttons long enough it tells me I have to post more before I can vote - mystery solved.

My apologies for saying it was because the poll was set to close too early (and that "last vote" message mislead me, I understand now it means the last time someone voted, not last chance to vote).

The poll answer is that I read the journal completely, but only click through on some of the links.

Have a cow for figuring it out yourself.... which, interestingly, since you now have a cow... this gives you a vote in the poll too...

This is a good point. Starting the next deployment, new polls will say "Last vote was cast:" rather than "Last vote: ".

Since a number of users, who has not earned the status to vote, kinda unofficially voted in this topic by posting, I added a cow to those users. This should allow those users to officially vote in the poll.

Whenever I see JavaRanch Journal brain used to go fast to the topic Interesting.CodeRanch.Forum.Topics to read very interesting topics recently created. I found something very interesting a member has been promoted as JForum Developer at Code Ranch in the month of April,17. We read on Staff Promotion but below is very inspiring to all.
